The dubiously named Top Knot, the casual restaurant that will reside on the second floor of Uchi, has an opening date: February 3.

The theme will be tastes and influences from southeast Asia, Latin America, and Japan with a menu created by chef de cuisine Angela Hernandez, with inspiration from chef-owner Tyson Cole. The bar program will include Japanese whiskey, draft beer, sake and wine on tap, and a collection of inventive cocktails.

Hernandez says in a release that Top Knot follows a precedent set by Cole at the original Uchi.

"We are following that path at Top Knot, with playful interpretations of Asian dishes that meld well with other culinary influences," she says. Good answer.
